To get the most out of your Ford test drive, you want to come prepared and know what exactly to look for. The team at Folsom Lake Ford recommends scheduling your appointment in advance and bringing necessary documentation to ensure you get the most from your test drive. Here’s how to prepare and what to avoid.
Do: Research Beforehand
Before visiting our dealership, explore the specifications and features of your preferred Ford model. Whether you’re considering a Ford F-150 or Ford Explorer, understanding the available options helps you focus on specific aspects during your drive. You might even pick out a certain trim or two that you want to test.
Do: Schedule an Appointment.
Our Ford representatives confirm appointments to ensure your preferred vehicle is available and ready upon arrival. This guarantees you’ll have adequate time to thoroughly evaluate the vehicle.
Do: Test Various Driving Conditions
When you test-drive, take the vehicle to city streets, highways, and parking lots to assess acceleration, braking, and handling in a range of environments. Also, be sure to test the Ford SYNC® infotainment system, Co-Pilot360® safety features, and seating comfort during your drive.
Don’t: Rush The Experience
Take sufficient time to evaluate the vehicle’s performance, comfort, and technology features. Request an extended test drive if needed to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of the vehicle’s capabilities – we’re happy to oblige.
Don’t: Ignore Important Features
It’s easy to get wrapped up in the feeling of a new car, but remember to take an objective approach. Look closely at things like air conditioning, heating, steering responsiveness, and visibility. For Ford trucks, ask our team about towing capabilities and evaluate cargo space to ensure they’re suitable for your needs.
